K-State had early leads and kept the game within a possession through the first two media timeouts. But costly turnovers and recurrent inability to put the ball through the rim allowed No. 23 Oklahoma State (13-6, 6-6 Big 12) to gradually pull away from the Wildcats (5-17, 1-12) for a 67-60 victory over K-State.
To be fair, the Cats did not play poorly. But any good work they did—especially in the first half—was undone by abysmal shooting. Down 10-8 after an Antonio Gordon layup with 13:17 to play in the period, the Cats would miss 9 of their next 12 attempts and turn the ball over three times while Oklahoma State built a 25-14 lead.
